James...I have taken the the number #3 rayspeed piston and made it a number #2. I was desperate and had an extra set of #3's and what I did was took Jb weld and stuck about a pinhead worth in one of the 3 wholes thus your at 2 holes that are 1.2mm big just like the #2's.It sound hokey but in a jam it works perfect.It felt exactly the same.I compared the the modified 3 and the 2 and it was exactly the same.You may or may not want to try this. Thought this may help if you cant get them in time.

Build problems
Hello,
I started to build my SD last night, but I ran into some serious build issues with the trans cases.
1. The 8x14 bearing that the drive gear rides on is difficult to get onto the drive gear itself, and i'm not sure if its sitting properly.
2. This seems to be causing meshing problems with the diffs, so I'm getting a high spot when I rotate the two gears together.
3. The bearings that ride in the motor mount and the outside of the trans cases were all the WRONG size. The overall diameter is fine, but the inner race is off by about .25mm or so. Its supposed to be 5x8, but its more like 5x9.
Any tips/hints/solutions to solve these issues?
Thanks,
Buddha

1 : it is normal, the bearing is hard to put and remove so that it won't move at all under load,
2 : it is normal, you have to break in your drive train, as Steve from speed Tech said some post ago (quite a lot though),
3 : I've heard on other threads it had happened to other drivers, they mistaken the bearings, get it back to your hobby shop (with the manual and the shaft) and he should change it.

one of the reasons to have the front tighter is that it gives less steering going into a corner but more traction coming out.

Re: Atheena Projects Carpet Chassis and Upper Deck

The Carpet Chassis and Upper Deck will be available at the end of the month. If you're interested in the parts, email Atheena Projects. [email protected]
The prices are 32 euros for the upper deck and 80 euros for the main chassis.
More information and pictures have been posted at http://www.atheenaprojects.com .
The material used for both the Carpet Main Chassis and Carpet Upper Deck is the highest grade carbon fibre anywhere in RC Car racing. The percentage of carbon is much higher compared to the normal carbon fibre used in RC cars. Both the main chassis and upper deck are so much stiffer compared to the original parts that you won't believe it. Perfect for high-grip carpet racing!

It is a nice chassis but....the outer hole for the servo looks like it can sheared off in a crash. It needs a little more material around it. Just my observation.
